The Anoka-Ramsey Community College Men's Basketball team held on to defeat Vermilion Community College on Saturday 74-69 and improve to 8-3 on the season.
A close game throughout, the Golden Rams took a 35-33 lead into halftime on the strength of solid defense and rebounding.
The second half was similar to the first with the two teams exchanging leads multiple times before Anoka-Ramsey staged a late run and hit their free-throws down the stretch.
Both teams struggled shooting the basketball for most of the game, combining to shoot 8-35 on three point field goals. The Golden Rams held Vermilion to 35.3% shooting, a season-low for an Anoka-Ramsey opponent.
In their previous meeting a week earlier, Vermilion outrebounded Anoka-Ramsey by 24, however a concerted effort to limit second chances helped Anoka-Ramsey come away with the victory as they won the rebounding battle 46-41.
Anoka-Ramsey had a season-high five players score in double figures with Trey Scott leading the way with 14 points followed by Ben Hill (12 points), Dan Konz (12 points, 13 rebounds), Matt Fridberg (11 points, 7 rebounds), and Richard Harmon (10 points).
The Golden Rams will be in action December 29 and 30 as they host the Anoka-Ramsey Holiday Classic. They'll face United Tribes (ND) on December 29 at 8:00pm, then Mesabi on December 30 at 6:00pm.
